My DD's is in the same ballpark FSIQ-wise and she is thriving after the skip.
I was very concerned about skipping but I ended up being more concerned about the effects of not skipping. She has always liked school, wasn't bored and teachers generally love her because she has always been enthusiastic about learning.
In kindergarten she showed no issues socially but they became more apparent in 1st and even more so in 2nd grades as her natural curiousity and just fey abilities to absorb knowledge started to make her a bit of an ugly duckling.
So far, I am really happy that we skipped her because she has bloomed (so far) without even breaking stride and the social issues that we had seen appear to have disappeared (touch wood).
